Good lord, where ya been,
Can't you see the sorry shape I'm in?
Ragged clothes, hillbilly blues,
Is it true, have you come,
to make angels outta everyone?
I'll believe, yes I'll believe,
Cause every night that I pray,
my heavy knees hit the floor
Lord take my troubles away,
don't let me wander no more
I'm just a scrap of a thing,
near given up on the shine
leave all my worries behind.
woah momma, today's the day,
I'll drive you straight across the USA
by way of hangman's bluff
Is it true? Have you longed,
to escape from all discretion and wrong?
To fly away, fly away, and get you gone!
Cause every night that I pray,
my heavy knees hit the floor
Lord take my troubles away,
don't let me wander no more
I'm just a ghost of a train,
run outta parts to supply
I'm getting ready to go leave all my worries behind!
Hey darling, what's it gonna be?
Lonely eyes, and cheap perfume
Are the only things that I can
still remember you through
Is it true? Have you heard? How the
days are rushin by in a blur
Slow me down, slow me down,
Cause every night that I pray,
my heavy knees hit the floor
Lord take my troubles away,
don't let me wander no more
I'm just a bird on the wing,
bound for yonder blue sky
I'm getting ready to go leave
